recipe reviews for:

Zucchini Apple Pie

“Everyone will think there's apple in this delicious pie, but there really isn't. Peeled, sliced zucchini are sauteed in lemon juice until just tender, and then it 's combined with all the usual apple pie fixings: sugar, cinnamon, brown sugar, nutmeg and flour. The filling is piled into a pastry crust, dotted with butter and topped with a second crust. It bakes for about 40 minutes.”

Yummy, tasted just like apple pie. My son and I have developed an allergy to apples, so when I found this I had to try. Was not disappointed!

Wow, was I surprised at how delicious this pie is! I thought after cooking the zucchini it would just basically turn to mush in the pie, but it didn't. I sauteed for about 2 minutes, and they turned out perfect. Tastes just like apple pie!!

I used both zucchini and granny smith apples. I had both in my fridge and decided to join them. They both looked the same in the skillet. Used a tracitional home made pie crust and it came out fabulous!

I have made this several times without anyone being the wiser. HERE IS THE TRICK: Use those big zucchini from the garden, split them in half length-wise, gut the middle of all the seeds and stringy soft stuff, then each half length-wise in thirds, so they are apple-slice width, PEEL off the green, then trim the corners of each length so the end looks like an apple slice. Then USE A FOOD PROCESSOR OR MANDOLIN to cut EVEN slices. Even uncooked these look like apple slices! Then cook as directed. I fools everyone 100% of the time!

This recipe is so delicious! No one would ever guess that there was zucchini instead of apples in it. In fact, we brought this to a church potluck, and everyone raved about this being "the best apple pie ever!" Were they ever shocked to find out the "secret ingredient" when we handed out the recipe. If you have an over-abundance of zucchini, don't hesitate to give this recipe a try! You won't be disappointed.

I think the key is to not overcook the zucchini and don't forget the lemon juice. I used my own veggies from my garden this year and when I made the pie guests were wondering what type of apple was used!
